#4- Abnormal Swelling
Dr. Phil Zeltzman writes, “The most obvious sign is a mass (or bump, or lump) that keeps growing under the skin. Any surgeon will recommend that you don’t just ‘watch it,’ but have it removed AND biopsied. If the mass turns out to be benign, that’s great. If it is malignant or cancerous, then at least we know and we can discuss what to do next.”
#5- Wounds that do not heal
PetMD writes that any “abnormal substance being discharged from any part of your pet’s body should be checked out by your veterinarian.” They go on to write, “If your pet has wounds or sores that are not healing, it could be a sign of infection, skin disease, or even cancer.”
